Massive expansion of Italy’s Piracy Shield underway despite growing criticism of its flaws

Walled Culture has been following closely Italy’s poorly-designed Piracy Shield system. Back in December we reported how copyright companies used their access to the Piracy Shield system to order Italian Internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to all of Google Drive for the entire country, and how malicious actors could similarly use that unchecked power to shut down critical […]

The effort poured into building VPNs far exceeds what it would take to fix the fundamental privacy and security flaws in internet protocols—eliminating the need for VPNs altogether. Instead of addressing the root cause, we keep investing in workarounds rather than solving the real problem. It’s time to rethink our approach.

As AI agents become ubiquitous, expect the copyright industry to try to turn them against you

One of the many interesting aspects of the new wave of artificial intelligence systems is that with them, copyright has moved from the fringe to centre stage. There are continuing debates about what role copyright should play in the world of generative AI, not to mention various lawsuits asking the courts to rule on that question. Those debates and lawsuits have been about two aspects of AI: […]

Now that it has lost #Syria, #Russia is preparing for #revolution following it home

"#Roskomnadzor blocked residents in #Dagestan, #Chechnya, and #Ingushetia, which have majority-#Muslim populations, #ISW says... People in those areas couldn't access #Google, #YouTube, #Telegram, #WhatsApp, or other foreign websites or apps—even if they used #VPN s, according to a local #Russian news site"

There were interesting discussions (I listened in) at breakfast on the subject of VPN. I am very surprised that the "professionals" *cough* among the participants don't know something like Rethink, Mullvad etc. or that it is too tedious for them to set up a box. 🤦

But hey, not my problem, I'm not a "professional"! Sent via 🇫🇷

#Brazil #VPNs #SocialMedia #Twitter #FreedomOfSpeech: "More contentious still has been Moraes’s decision to fine users who access X using methods such as VPNs.

Rightwing politicians and some experts have decried the order as legally dubious and overly punitive, given the vast majority of the Brazil’s 20mn X users use the platform in a non-contentious manner.

“The application of a daily fine to individuals and legal entities in a broad and generalised manner represents a serious affront to the fundamental rights enshrined in the constitution,” said a note from the Brazilian Bar Association to the Supreme Court, published on Saturday, asking the tribunal to review the ruling.
“The imposition of fines constitutes a sanction and, therefore, must always be supported by a legal process that guarantees the individual the right to a full defence,” the body said."
